Key Selling Points: A true dual zone fridge/freezer, insulating bag and wireless remote include, rugged design.
The SnoMaster USA is fairly new to the US market. SnoMaster is a South African company that has been selling in S.A. and Australia for quite some time and has now found a US distributor along with other retail outlets. The nice thing with SnoMaster is everything is included in your purchase. For some manufacturers, the cost of an insulating bag can be high. So when you are making pricing comparisons be sure to include the price of a bag and remote control.
Pros:
- Everything is included
- Drain plugs on both sides of the fridge/freezer
- Freezer area is large and easy to fit food containers
- Both sides can be run as a fridge or freezer. You choose via the temperature settings
- Classic steel box design with good handles
- Open door alarm
- Easy to use controls with voltage indication if you are running off of DC power
- Wireless Remote included
- SnoMaster states they have the best insulation in the industry
- 5-year warranty
Cons:
- Highest amp draw of any of the fridges we tested. This can be managed with a good solar panel and in fairness to SnoMaster, there are 2 individual zones to cool. Hopefully, we can test a single zone fridge in the future.
- A bit big and heavy. The footprint of the SnoMaster and weight are bigger than the comparable Dometic CFX65DZ
